Pros

Great potential for this group basing themselves in Portland. Brain trust behind Ashoka Changemakers team starts their own shop and brings their template for cranking out crowd-sourced innovations for clients all around the world. CEO is charismatic when needed and a good hustler to close deals but he's young and needs better emotional control to become a good leader.

Cons

The CEO is very young and didn't seem to have a good role model from the Ashoka world in which he was molded. There's a very large gap between what the CEO aspires to do and what he actually does (witness: he posted the company's values on the wall behind him so that everyone in the open office plan could see them but he never did). Emotions and frustrations were high and constant thanks to the staff's inability to read the leader's mind. CEO is a born salesman but needed a strong right-hand man to execute. CEO brought in a local sales exec and drove away the one exec that got stuff done in the span of a few months.

Pros

Accountable autonomy is the norm. Skeleton of delivery method, grounded in design thinking, enables creativity for how I meet our clients' needs without being limited to a single person's creative or strategic vision. The work is what we make of it, not limited by a single factor. Ability to bring in inspiration from people or methods outside of the company is welcomed, if not expected.

Cons

Small teams focus too much on self-knowledge, emphasizing team harmony over quality of work in some cases. Decisions about teams and clients seem to be made slower than you'd expect at a small company.
